Guarding against 'Carmageddon' cyberattacksThe potential value of turning the nation's freeways into "smart transportation systems" is enormous. Equipping the nation's concrete arteries with a nervous system of computers and sensors that directly control on-ramp signals to keep traffic moving smoothly can substantially reduce travel times, fuel consumption and air pollution, not to mention improve road safety. In California alone the economic penalty of traffic congestion has been estimated at $400 million in extra costs and $3.5 million in lost wages every day.http://phys.org/news321698512.html
TechnologyWed, 11 Jun 2014 09:42:03 ESTnews321698512Turtles make the right moves via remote control (w/ Video)(Phys.org) —Your typical robot story tends to be about robotics teams finding clever ways to make their mechanical devices mimic real animals in shape and movement. A study coming out of South Korea has a twist. Researchers there are working with live animals subjected to remote control. Their study subjects are being described by bloggers as cyborg creatures or remote-control pets. The team from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have shown how a live turtle can be made to follow a winding path through special apparatus that is used as a "noninvasive" steering system. Their study, titled "Remote Guidance of Untrained Turtles by Controlling Voluntary Instinct Behavior," describes their work and their results in taking "red-eared sliders" (Trachemys scripta elegans). and placing an attachment to the shells, a half-cylinder remotely rotated with a servo.http://phys.org/news286018923.html

The results are improved cement quality and increased mill throughput. The software Sicement IT MCO has been installed for its first operation in one of the mills of a portland cement plant in the Bavarian city of Rohrdorf in south Germany. In the future, it will also control the remaining three mills.http://phys.org/news218227356.html
